Nobody was peppered in the writing of this post

Feb. 14 - I have some kind of virus thingy and my brain is fuzzy.

We're all having a good laugh at the Vice-President's hunting mishap. Lord knows we need it - and the icing on the cake has been the indignation by the White House press corps that a local Corpus Christi news reporter scooped them. Only in America!

I'm posting a too true email that Dex sent me and heading back to bed.

25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"

Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt. Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it & do the same.

2 Why am I not surprised at your foolish comments about the Cheney shooting incident. You try to paper it over as a kind of funny mistake. The facts are that the victim has a pellet lodged near his heart that is too dangerous to operate and remove. When you publish such absurdities, you basically broadcast to the world that you Americans have taken leave of your senses, and that our deep distrust of your leadership and judgement is indeed valid. If this man dies, it will not only be Dick Cheney that pulled the trigger, it will be the NRA that was his accomplice. So there you have it princess, short and sweet, the difference between us Canadians and you Americans. In Canada, Cheney would have been charged and arrested for dangerous use of a firearm.

3 Please, everyone, don't respond to Joe Green. He's not a thoughtful commenter and only wants to start sh*t.

5 Accidents happen. Accidently, Chaney may have done his hunting partner a favour. By exposing a heart weakness when medical attention was at hand, repairs, prevention and awareness may have been a good thing after all. Corpus Christi. Lots of good people there. They deserve a scoop and lots more. I lived there for a time. Next time, forget Florida. Go to Corpus, Padre Island and Port Isabel for your holiday between May and September. You'll love it. TG

And of course, you could not respond intelligently to the points that I had made and posted. You are "casting aspersions" as we say in Canada, without proof. In fact, without even a scintilla of evidence.

7 Whatever.
